1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

aimsDisparities in gastric cancer incidence and mortality have been reported among ethnic/racial groups. While gastric cancer is not common in the U.S., it is among the top 10 causes of cancer-related death among Hispanics living in Puerto Rico (PRH). This study compared gastric cancer incidence rates during a 15-year period (2002-2006, 2007-2011, and 2012-2016) between PRH and racial/ethnic groups in the mainland U.S., including Non-Hispanic Whites (NHW), Non-Hispanics Blacks (NHB), Hispanics (USH), and Non-Hispanic Asian or Pacific Islanders (NHAPI).

methodsPrimary gastric cancer cases (ICD-O-3 codes C16.0 to C16.9) from the Puerto Rico Central Cancer Registry and SEER diagnosed from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2016 were included in the analysis. The Joinpoint Regression Program and standardized rate ratios were used to estimate Annual Percent Changes (APC) and differences in gastric cancer incidence among racial/ethnic groups, respectively.

resultsOur analysis included 83,369 gastric cancer cases (PRH n = 4202; NHW n = 43,164; NHB n = 10,414; NHAPI n = 11,548; USH n = 14,041). USH had the highest number of cases among individuals <50 years, whereas NHW and PRH had the highest percentage among individuals ≥50 years. PRH and USH were the only groups with increasing APCs among individuals <50 years.

conclusionsGastric cancer continues to be a common cancer among PRH, despite the overall decrease in incidence among other racial/ethnic groups. Studies evaluating the gastric cancer risk factors among high-risk groups are necessary to establish health policy and modify gastric cancer screening algorithms among Hispanics.
